Fieldwork

Graduate student Sara Hutto surveys the swell before venturing out farther in the tide pools to work on research for a grant.  Sara ventures out into the intertidal at all times of night and day and in all kinds of weather to get her work done on low tides, when more of the algae she studies are exposed.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that many MLML grad students consider this location a place of work.  Countless thesis projects have taken place in Stillwater Cove in Carmel Bay, and on occasion, students catch a sunset as  beautiful as this one.
